During interviews with NBC News and NPR released on Monday, recently-retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley stated that no one has been punished for how the war in Afghanistan ended, but “where people are looking for a pound of flesh. I think they’re looking in the wrong idea here.”
During the interview with NBC, “Nightly News” host Lester Holt asked, “Has anyone been held accountable [for] what went wrong with the Afghanistan withdrawal?”
Milley responded, “If you mean has anyone been specifically punished in some way, no. But, look, Lester, that war didn’t end the way anybody wanted it to end. And I can tell you, with 100% certainty, that thousands of people, from privates, to generals, to people in the interagency, did their very best that they could under the circumstances to make sure that we executed the president’s orders. Wars don’t end because of events in the last ten or fifteen days, any war is the cumulative effect of many, many decisions along the way. This was a 20-year war. There were decisions made over 20 years that landed us where we did.”

Not really. By medal count they are about the same. We just went with the small square design!
People died unnecessarily, and we stupidly left over $80 billion of equipment for the Taliban do use (or sell to Russia, China and Iran). SOMEONE has to be held accountable, and the perfect person is this treasonous (who said that he’d tell the Chinese in advance about us going to war with them) woketard.
“This man is a military genius comparable to Georgie Patton or Doug MacArthur.”

Uh, he pulled the trigger.
Look in the mirror jerk.
Half the ribbons are for sexual harassment classes, diversity forums, fixing jammed copiers
Methinks you need your sarcasm meter adjusted.
Looks like Ohio State football helmets
Ha ha ha.
The celebration is when all these pukes are indicted prosecuted and jailed
But many will remember the Biden gang hounding LLoyd Austin to sign “climate change” papers instead of preparing to withdraw from Afghanistan safely and properly.
Hey Milley, You Chinese whore...eat poo poo and cease to live.
“Methinks you need your sarcasm meter adjusted.”

All of the RINOs and trolls on FR lately, you never know.
I see your point.
Milley is a shill liar and a traitor part 2 video on Rumble 5:20
Millet is not only a traitor but a coward. He destroyed Westpoint and the rest of the military. He is a commie.

The outbriefings were attended by the entire chain of command, all the way up to the Deputy CG of 32nd AADCOM. He also had a role: in the rare event that the battery failed, he would fire the entire chain of command up through the Group Commander.
The pucker factor in the briefing room was palpable.
